Learned a lot. Rolando was patient in explaining the aspects of grammar that some students found hard to understand.

The beginners class was perfect for someone like me, a complete beginner. Rolando is the best instructor, very patient and extremely knowledgeable in both Spanish and English. I look forward to Level 2 in the spring.

The course was a helpful introduction to Spanish. We did a lot of repetition of new words/sounds and going over homework in class. Towards the end of the course we begun practicing short dialogues and interactions, on the topics of our likes/dislikes etc.

I have used Duolingo over the years to try to learn and have picked up some decent vocab, but after taking the Level 1 class at Berges I have so much more knowledge and understand Spanish so much better. Can't wait for Level 2!

We were pushed to memorize the vocabulary and conjugation to form statements. This was highly valuable and though hard at times, it was appreciated.

I loved this class. Juan Carlos keeps things moving and enjoyable while always creatively teaching at a high level. It takes focus and commitment, but I got a lot from this class, and have already enrolled for the next level.

Honestly I really loved this class. I loved my instructor. My only issue was that I thought there could have been more material. Our last 2 classes were basically review. Would have preferred using them for more material. Thank you.

I love the beginners course. I've learned and re-learned so much in just a few weeks. I will continue taking classes at Berges.

Even though I tested into the second level, I saw that the first level was on groupon and decided to use the discounted price as a way to gauge if I like the school and teaching style before committing to the full price and ongoing classes. Berges Institute was great and my instructor Alejandro was wonderful as well. I enjoyed that vocabulary was mostly on students to learn and class focused on grammar and practicing conversational Spanish.

The vocab is practical and presented in a way that is easy to understand and not overwhelming to put into practice. I learned more in 10 weeks than 4 years of Spanish is high school.

The teacher was excellent. Good pronunciation help and did a nice job explaining topics. However, he consistently started the class 5 to 10 minutes late because his other class ended too soon to make it on time (not his fault—this is on Berges). Also, because we reviewed the homework so much each class, we didn’t have as much time to learn new topics and practice conversation. I would’ve preferred just receiving the answers via email and having 20 minutes to ask questions about it (and then focusing on new topics). Also, I was sad to see that the teacher was substituted on the last 2 days of the class. This was frustrating.
